super flam'n turdOmatic
If you thought I was kidding, I wasn't. The fourth this year was nothing short of, uh, fascinating. We had homemade pyrotechnics, homemade rocket launchers (my dad christened it "La Bomba"), homemade vodka slushies. Lots of fun. A trip to the zoo, a chance to waterski, wheelies on the fourwheeler, and many many many snappers.
The pic of my cousin Dana, above, links to a slideshow--mostly of family pics.
And re my earlier post, in which I claim that "Pregnant Cat" is an actual title for a rocket: I was wrong. Apparently, the Pregnant Cat was affectionately named by my aunt Linda after the way it appears to have many nipples, like a pregnant cat would. It has nothing to do with the wheezing whine it emits once it's lit (which is why I thought they called it Pregnant Cat). But that's not its real name, anyway. And no, I don't know its real name. But regardless, it SOUNDS like a pregnant cat; or, more precisely, a cat in labor.
Good times.
